Default Roof clock wires

Morning all,

Has anyone had luck threading new wires up to the roof clock?

Any thoughts on how to would be helpful!

Thanks,

Lee

Cheers lads,

So I'll peel the headliner back to the A pillar and feed a thick wire down from there.

Thanks again!

May need front screen out if your dropping the head lining?
I'd try just taking a post cover off and using the wire to fish it through
With the wire try putting string down the route first, then you can pull the loom up with it

Door seal off around a post area, and pull carefully from under windscreen seal
You'll have to take the speaker out of the footwell too

if you have a sunroof you can drop the headlining from there and it should work
